Yiming, I think they must go through and edit out the hits you describe. Though I hesitate to say this here, some things just can't be programmed . . . yet.

"Fat is the new climate change." I was momentarily confused by the non-sequitors, but they do turn up actual articles with a Google feel lucky search. Interesting. I wonder how they get rid of false hits like "FooWidgetX is the new version of widget software from BarCorp". One should be able to punch in "* is the new *" in Google and scrape all the matching phrases that are returned. Annoying that Google no longer exposes a decent search API. “Supporting our troops is the new AIDS”. “Fat is the new climate change.” I was momentarily confused by the non-sequitors, but they do turn up actual articles with a Google feel lucky search.
